The primary objective of this study is to establish a human Campylobacter jejuni infection model with the following characteristics: 1. Safe application 1. Infectious period risk mitigated by close monitoring and prospectively applied early treatment criteria 2. Potential post-infectious sequelae risk mitigated by appropriate strain and host selection 2. Campylobacteriosis attack rate of at least 75% Secondary objectives are to determine humoral, cell-mediated, and mucosal immune responses in the newly established human C. jejuni infection model and evaluate short-term (\< 3 mo) protection upon repeat exposure to homologous C. jejuni strain and assess immune responses associated with protection.
